Yayoi Kusama is the Queen of Pop Art in Japan and one of the most famous Japanese artist all over the world. Some of her most famous works are in various locations around Japan attracting hundreds of national and international tourists every year and inspiring numbers of artists worldwide.
In summer 2022, Yayoi Kusama: Print Works (草間彌生 版画の世界) , a special exhibition focusing on Yayoi Kusama’s print works was held in Matsumoto City in Nagano Prefecture. Located in central Japan in a mountain area, Matsumoto City is the city where Yayoi Kusama was born and raised. The artist continues to have a link with the city, and several exhibitions have been held in the past. The city is also proud of one of its most famous citizens and the exhibitions help to promote Matsumoto City.
Following a huge success in her hometown, the exhibition will tour across Japan from 2024, starting in Kagoshima City Museum of Art from 27 September to 10 November 2024 then moving to Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art from 25 April to 7 September 2025.
The world’s first exhibition dedicated to Yayoi Kusama’s print works introduces the world of prints by the avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama, bringing together her early works and the “Love is Forever” series, one of her representative works and her recent Ukiyoe prints of Mount Fuji. Yayoi Kusama released her first two prints, “Shoes in the Field” and “Standing in a Field of Illusion,” in 1979. Around the same time that these prints appeared, Kusama’s method of expression also began to change, marking a turning point in her career.
